Globalization Has Peaked

What’s clear in the early stages of this latest revolution is that globalization has peaked, and likely for decades.

We’ve not seen this level of political polarization since the Civil War. And it’s not unique to the U.S. It’s happening around the world… a backlash against globalization.

The red states scored a massive victory when President Donald Trump won against the odds.Six states switched from borderline blue to borderline red during that election.

But history has insights for us about such a revolution. For starters, they don’t tend to end where they started. Despite being a clear play of opposites, like conservative and liberal, history favors the progressive side. Over the longer term, the trends are only in one direction: toward increased affluence,greater freedom, more trade,and deeper political and social tolerance.

The south or red states had the momentum in the early part of the Civil War, but lost in the end. The nation moved in the progressive direction and became more unified than ever. While the south had more conviction and cause, the north had more people, technology and affluence… and were on the right side of the longer-term trends.

What’s clear in the early stages of this latest revolution is that globalization has peaked, and likely for decades. We’re going to have to regroup politically around common and regional cultural and religious values before we can globalize and progress again.

But let’s see what happens when the blue states have their say – as they again have the edge in economic power. California is threatening to go to ballot in 2018 to secede from the union. The red states may have won round one of this civil war, but it’s just getting started.

A political and social reformation the magnitude of the American Revolution is in motion and will take several years to begin to resolve.

With every passing day, we see more signs of how globalization has succeeded to the point that it’s now failing.

The world has become too small. We’re too much in each other’s faces and we can no longer ignore our differences. We want to take back our identities, values and beliefs.

This is why we saw the Brexit in 2016.

That is also why, in last November, we witnessed the most controversial election and shift in politics, social policies and economic trends since the Civil War.

And now, there is a campaign known as “Yes California” which has already begun collecting votes to hold a ballot with the end goal of having California secede from the Union.
